Testimonialse from people helped with confidence & self esteem

I cannot begin to thank you enough for what you have done for me and my family. I came to you as a chap who put on a mask to the outside world that everything was fine and dandy, while underneath the surface I was drowning in emotions of guilt, nerves, anxiety, frustration and self hate.

But thanks to your help, support, confidence and superb sessions, I have became so much more confident, guilt free, less frustrated, anxious, nervous and so much more happier with life but more importantly feeling so much more contented with myself as a person. I couldn't recommend this any more if I tried. Thank you so much for helping change my life for the better!!!

Coming to see you to do the Thrive programme was the best thing I’ve done in a very long time. I am so glad I made that initial effort, that step towards change.

Firstly - just coming to see you – a sympathetic ear, and a lovely, caring soul - I found it really hard to look inside my own head and analyze my thoughts. With your help, it was possible. All done with a delightful humour too, I do wish I could have you on my doorstep for a chat whenever I felt like it.

Secondly – the thrive programme - it is amazing. I think a lot of it is common sense but we are strange beasts and the daft things we do to ourselves do need to be pointed out to us. We allow ourselves become creatures of habit and unfortunately mostly bad habits – most of us need someone or something to help us break the pattern. I feel as if a large wad of cotton wool has been lifted from my head – as if I’ve stepped out from the fog.

I was suffering increasing social anxiety and low self-esteem. I felt completely trapped and unable to change anything. I had even started to feel ‘scared’ of all sorts of things that had never before and was putting it down to just getting older. My friends and family would probably not have realized that I suffered from these feelings – which did descend at times into depression. My husband, on the other hand, probably suffered as much as me! The Thrive programme showed me that I had been beating myself up for years and suffering very unhelpful thinking styles. It has enabled me to take control of my mind and therefore actions.

I now feel really happy and I feel as if I could do anything. I’ve not quite decided what it is I want to do yet but I am really excited. I am almost there, it is not yet second nature to me and I am still doing the exercises. I also have to set my goals and start to achieve new heights. However I feel I have the tools with which to do all this. The course does include some hard work. I had to commit, make time and work through the exercises. But it was so enlightening and refreshing to challenge my thinking that I came to enjoy it. I couldn’t have done it without you. And I can’t thank you enough

Hey Cara! I have been meaning to email you for ages! I just wanted to say thank you for all the help you gave me last year. I feel like I have come such a long way since the sessions I had. I have completed my first year of uni and I remember one of my biggest fear was the thought of writing an essay (let alone passing it). So I can’t tell you how proud I was receiving my grades last year, getting 1st and 2:1’s in all my work - something I never believed I could do.

I also remember the fear of social events I used to get however I overcome this and I have made two lovely friends at uni (again something I never imagined would happen last year). I still remember all the things I learnt from Thrive and will continue to process them. Thank you so much!

I have done the Thrive Programme with Cara. I was first sceptical as I had tried a lot of self-help books, counselling, alternative treatments, spiritual stuff etc. My problem was being stuck in the past and blaming my childhood and the circumstances I grew up in as the cause of my unhappiness and failure. I felt utterly at the merci of other people and this feeling of helplessness and anger was very difficult. And the more I tried to get out of it without success the more I got frustrated.

But then I found the Thrive Programme and reading through Cara's and Rob's website I felt that this was it. And it was! I knew a lot of things intellectually but I couldn't apply it to my life. Now this programme really explains how you tick and does help you with easy exercises and actions to change all your limiting beliefs, unhelpful thinking styles etc. But you got to put EFFORT in it. It is you who is doing the change and who is in control of your own feelings and life. It is pretty amazing to experience the shift from very low self-esteem to really feeling good in just a few weeks. I can only highly recommend the Thrive Programme. And also Cara is really skilled in guiding you through the programme. I felt immediately confident and comfortable with her.

I started the Thrive programme as I felt I had lost my sense of identity, confidence and self-esteem. I had gone from a high profile job in the city to being a stay at home mum of two toddlers and as much as I loved looking after them I felt I had lost my confidence and began to fear the thought of going back to work. Everyone told me I was mad and that I would be great again once I got back into it but I needed to get rid of all of the negative thoughts and the anxious feeling I constantly had in my stomach every time it was mentioned.

I also thought I was a very positive person, I soon realised that I portrayed a great image to the outside world and supported everyone else but on the inside it was a very different story. Cara took me through the Thrive programme and I cannot thank her enough. She was very supportive and week by week I began to feel stronger and good about myself. It also helped me to understand my partner better and his thinking styles. 

This book is amazing and totally different to every other self-help book I’ve read, and I’ve read a few!! Cara took me though a six week course and the results have been fantastic. I am using the techniques and the some of them are pretty much instant. I was so excited when I finished the course, my social anxiety had almost disappeared and my low self-esteem gone. It’s not to say that every now and again a negative thought doesn’t pop up but I know how to handle these now and I think about these for a minute rather than it spoil my whole day.

I am keen to read the book again and again as I firmly believe that the more you read this the happier and more confident you will feel. Its only now that I realise that I am in control of my happiness and successes and that it was my own negative thoughts that were holding me back. Thank you Cara and Rob for this amazing experience.
